Using high-resolution distributed temperature sensing to quantify spatial and temporal variability in vertical hyporheic flux

TL;DR: In this paper, high-resolution thermal sensors were used to describe the vertical component of hyporheic flux at high spatial resolution across vertical profiles in the streambed, which can be applied to one-dimensional conduction-advection-dispersion models.
Journal ArticleDOI

Automated calculation of vertical pore-water flux from field temperature time series using the VFLUX method and computer program

TL;DR: In this article, the authors present a MATLAB-based system for processing raw temperature time series and calculating vertical water flux in shallow sub-surface-water systems, which includes functions for quantitatively evaluating the ideal spacing between sensor pairs and for performing error and sensitivity analyses for the heat transport model due to thermal parameter uncertainty.
Journal ArticleDOI

A method for estimating surface transient storage parameters for streams with concurrent hyporheic storage

TL;DR: In this paper, a 2-SZ model was proposed to discriminate between surface transient storage (STS) exchange and exchange with hyporheic transient storage, which can provide much more useful results to those interested in discriminating between surface and subsurface transient storage dynamics of streams.
Journal ArticleDOI

A physical explanation for the development of redox microzones in hyporheic flow

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors demonstrate a residence time-based explanation for the paradox of anaerobic respiration occurring in seemingly oxic-saturated sediments, showing how microzones favorable to anaerobacterial respiration processes (e.g., denitrification, metal reduction, and methanogenesis) can develop in the embedded less mobile porosity of bulk-oxic hyporheic zones.
Journal ArticleDOI

A comparison of fibre-optic distributed temperature sensing to traditional methods of evaluating groundwater inflow to streams

TL;DR: In this article, the results of conventional methods [dye dilution gauging, acoustic Doppler velocimeter (ADV) differential gauging and geochemical end-member mixing] to distributed temperature sensing (DTS) using a fibre-optic cable installed along 900 m of Ninemile Creek in Syracuse, New York, USA, during low-flow conditions (discharge of 1·4 m3 s−1).
